Engine start stop button problematic

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my W213 E-Class from an analog to a digital dashboard. Since the upgrade, I've noticed that the engine start button isn't working as expected. Typically, you need to press the brake and then press the start button to ignite the engine. However, now the engine starts just by pressing the button, even without pressing the brake pedal. Additionally, the engine won't turn off with a single press of the button anymore—it either requires two consecutive presses or a press and hold. Unfortunately, the person who did the coding couldn't identify the issue. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

wow. Your coder/whoever did your conversion left you hanging without looking into the issue furthermore. I suppose you may have to bring it to the dealer to have them check out the conversion needs to change some software parameters in the ECU and any other hardwares (if applicable)

The pretty display is hardly compatible with your other car modules.

Connect an OBD scanner to realize the unnecessary chaos that was added to your car.

If this new module can not be coded to work well, save time and go back to stock.
